AN EYESORE, which artists and photographers have left out of their work for years, is to be replaced – thanks to a new partnership project.

The National Trust, Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) and Snowdonia National Park, are working to replace an old wooden bridge, built over 15 years ago and used by 300,000 walkers a year to cross the Idwal river in Cwm Idwal, Snowdonia.

Hywel Roberts, senior reserve manager with the CCW, said the bridge had worked well over the years, but recently maintenance has become more of an issue.
